This blog space is intended to serve as a place for the group compiling the Restoration Edition scriptures to communicate with the greater body. It replaces the Updates as found on scriptures.info, and will also serve other related purposes as needed. All the work related to the Guide and Standard can be found on guideandstandard.blogspot.com.

As emails come in pointing out printing errors, we are all over them. We have already dealt with perhaps a dozen (almost all are missing spaces between words). We then give an updated file to scriptures.info for them to update their text. We then upload a new file to CreateSpace so that the books sold on Amazon are fixed. We have just completed a round of these updates. The New Covenants was just now updated and it takes a couple days for that file to be ready on Amazon.

This means 2 things:

If you haven't purchased The New Covenants yet, wait a couple days before you do that and your copy will not have the errors we've found so far.

If you think you have found a printing error, CHECK FOR IT FIRST ON SCRIPTURES.INFO. If you don't find it there, it's already been found and fixed. You don't need to tell us about it.

The New Covenants, Vol. 2 of the scriptures that has recently been published, is now available on www.scriptures.info. Not only are they searchable, the ability for audio playback is also built into the site, including your choice of 4 different voices for the playback.

We recommend you take some time and poke around to discover the features offered to date. We understand more capability is planned for the site, but will leave it to the developers to surprise us when they are ready.

Many thanks to all who are contributing in many ways to the distribution and use of the scriptures.

We also are revising the plan for the use of the royalties. Because the leather-bound scriptures will not be using a print-on-demand service, ordering and shipping & handling will carry costs and require arrangements that will add costs to the volumes and that are beyond the committee's resources. We recommend that the royalty funds be used for handling the sale and distribution of the leather-bound sets when they become available.

Be aware that the cost of scriptures on Amazon are set at the lowest price Amazon will allow, as you can see below. The royalties are unavoidable:
